[m-rev.] diff/for post-commit review: trail usage analysis and optimization

Julien Fischer juliensf at cs.mu.OZ.AU
Tue Nov 8 16:38:49 AEDT 2005


For post-commit review:

I'm going to commit this now because it will be easier to work on it
when the installed compilers understand how to parse trailing_info
pragmas and the new foreign code attributes.  It shouldn't affect
anything else as all the new stuff is disabled by default.

Estimated hours taken: 30
Branches: main

Implement trail usage analysis.  This analysis performs a bottom-up traversal
of a program's call-graph to work out what parts of the program cannot modify
the trail.

Implement trail usage optimization for the high-level C backend.  Use the
information from the trail usage analysis to reduce the overhead of trailing
by omitting trailing primitives where they are not needed.  This diff
adds an initial version of this optimization (future versions will exploit
further opportunities that we currently ignore).

TODO: implement this optimization for the lowlevel backend.

This change adds two new foreign code attributes: `will_not_modify_trail'
and `may_modify_trail' that can be used to inform the compiler whether
foreign_procs modify the trail or not.

compiler/trailing_analysis.m:
	New module.  Perform a bottom-up analysis of the HLDS and annotate it
	with trail usage information.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a slot to the HLDS to store trail usage information for each
	(opt-imported) procedure in a module.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
	Add a new pragma: trailing_info.  This pragma can only occur in .opt
	and .trans_opt files and is used to propagate trail usage information
	across module boundaries.

	Add two new foreign_proc attributes, `will_not_modify_trail' and
	`may_modify_trail', that allow foreign_procs to be annotated with
	trail usage information.

compiler/goal_form.m:
	Add a predicate that tests if a given goal modifies the trail.

compiler/add_trail_ops.m:
	When performing the source-to-source transformation used to implement
	trailing for the MLDS backend take account of trail usage information,
	so that we can omit calls to trailing primitives in some places.

compiler/options.m:
	Add two new options: `--analyse-trail-usage' and
	`--optimize-trail-usage', that enable the new analysis and
	optimization respectively.  For the moment they are both disabled by
	default.

	Unrelated change: fix the formatting of the termination2 options.

compiler/trans_opt.m:
	Write trailing_info pragmas to .trans_opt files.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Run the new analysis if `--analyse-trail-usage' is given.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output trailing_info pragmas.

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
compiler/recompilation.version.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the above.

Julien.

+% file: trailing_analysis.m
+% author: juliensf
+%
+% This module implements trail usage analysis.  It annotates the HLDS with
+% information about which procedures may modify the trail.
+%
+% It intended to be used in helping the compiler decide when it is safe to
+% omit trailing operations in trailing grades.  After running the analysis
+% the trailing status of each procedure is one of:
+%
+%   (1) will_not_modify_trail
+%   (2) may_modify_trail
+%   (3) conditional
+%
+% These have the following meaning:
+%
+%   (1) for all inputs the procedure will not modify the trail.
+%   (2) for some inputs the procedure may modify the trail.
+%   (3) the procedure is polymorphic and whether it may modify the trail
+%       depends upon the instantiation of the type variables.  We need
+%       this because we can define types with user-defined equality or
+%       comparison that modify the trail.
+%
+% NOTE: to be `conditional' a procedure cannot modify the trail itself,
+% any trail modifications that occur through the conditional procedure
+% must result from a higher-order call or a call to a user-defined equality
+% or comparison predicate.
+%
+% For procedures defined using the foreign language interface we rely upon
+% the user annotations, `will_not_modify_trail' and `may_not_modify_trail'.
+%
+% The predicates for determining if individual goals modify the trail
+% are in goal_form.m.
+%
+% TODO:
+%   - Rather than using the predicates in goal_form.m., annotate each
+%     goal with trail usage information.  These would prevent multiple
+%     traversals of the goal structure.  It would also make it easier
+%     to do "clever" things during the trailing transformation.
+%
+%   - Use the results of closure analysis to determine the trailing
+%     status of higher-order calls.

+% This is used in the analysis of calls to polymorphic procedures.
+%
+% By saying a `type may modify the trail' we mean that tail modification
+% may occur as a result of a unification or comparison involving the type
+% because it has a user-defined equality/comparison predicate that modifies
+% the trail.
+%
+% XXX We don't actually need to examine all the types, just those
+% that are potentially going to be involved in unification/comparisons.
+% (The exception and termination analyses have the same problem.)
+%
+% At the moment we don't keep track of that information so the current
+% procedure is as follows:
+%
+% Examine the functor and then recursively examine the arguments.
+% * If everything will not will_not_modify_trail then the type will not
+%   modify the trail.
+%
+% * If at least one of the types may modify the trail then the type will
+%   will modify the trail.
+%
+% * If at least one of the types is conditional and none of them throw then
+%   the type is conditional.
